This may be different, but its the same idea. They tore down 11 acres of land behind my house to build houses. well about 2 weeks after they tore it down, I was headed to work, and there was a FAMILY of deer standing on the side of the road on HIGHWAY 99. Its simple, you tare down acres and acres of Forrest/wooded area, Your gonna have deer, raccoons, opossums. Its just a fact of life.

And they use the word "pipe" tobacco so they dont have to charge 9.5 tax. I think the tax on it is like 4.7% Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:59:51 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/-Wash-roll-your-own-machines-may-be-gone-for-good-161961585.html#IDComment399444373 http://www.komonews.com/sports/Selig-Weiner-concerned-over-Cano-booing-161982455.html?clmob=y#IDComment399413779 He shouldnt have said he was gonna choose billy butler and then not do it.

She delt with addiction for a long time. and, I believe she was raped and almost murdered in the early 2000's. When you live a lifestyle like that, it happens. As the saying goes. Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Have you seen Prince fielder in person? The guy is HUGE Just like his dad. Roids have nothing to do with it. He just has pure power.

I buy an 8 ounce bag of tobacco every other week for about $13 dollars and im good. The machine itself costs less then 10 bucks. Its just not worth it to buy packs. I bought my mother 3 packs yesterday for almost $25. No thank you.

We Took them to authenticated in 2002 and they were priced at $250,000, I could use that money. But I know when my kids are older they will be worth much much more, so my wife and I decided that we were not going to sell them, and we are going to evenly divide them amongst our kids as soon as they are old enough to realize what they have. People say cards arent worth jack anymore, and for the most part, I agree. They just make too many these days. But if your lucky to come across a babe ruth card or a honus wagner or even a ken griffey jr upper decker rookie card, you have something. If you have a collection of cards, now matter how new or old they are, no matter what shape they are in. Go get them appraised. You never know what you might have Tue, 10 Jul 2012 19:55:40 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Box-in-attic-yields-treasure-trove-of-rare-baseball-cards-161939295.html#IDComment399305213 http://www.komonews.com/sports/Prince-Fielder-wins-Home-Run-Derby-for-2nd-time-161880085.html#IDComment398902673 "I was criticized before I got here. If you play for the Yankees you get booed everywhere you go," Cano said. Uhhh Ya okay robby. The Fans got to you and YOU KNOW IT! Congrats to Prince. The guy can hit, no dobut about it. My dad took me to the all-star game in Boston in 99. Ken griffey jr was my hero growing up. Watching him win the derby was special. Getting two balls he hit was just icing on the cake :) I love the "mid season classic" The derby, the celebrity all-star game and the game itself. Always a fun time.

Howard and chuck need to go and we need a new owner. But I do buy into what Jack Z is trying to do with what he has and im buying into the talent that we have. And im sorry but were not going to trade away our talent. Period.

This is coming from a former collegiate athlete who if injuries not hampered my career would be in the Major Leagues today (not to sound like an egomaniac but its true, was offered full rides to the uw, usc, Kentucky, university of Florida and The Ohio state university) It does take, on average 2-3 years from when a player is called up to "the show" to actually show his potential. Looking at the roster, Ackley, Seager, Smoak, Montero, Carp, and Saunders ALL have 2 years or less of service in the major leagues. I PROMISE, and you can quote me on this, the mariners will be a playoff team and legitimate contender within the next 2 years.

This is the third youngest team in MLB. Of course there going to struggle. Look at how the ms were in the early 90s when jr, buhner, Edgar, randy and a rod were still very green. They sucked and we almost lost the mariners. The front office gave them experience and look at what they did from 95-2001. Give it some time, and one half of a season is not enough time, it takes 2 or 3 years AT LEAST. Jeez, have some patience.

Because he certainly does. But I love the comments that are bashing Charlie. The guy is still alive. If you believe Denise Richards hes a good dad and hes way more successful then you will ever be!

The guy said that there goal was to keep the team in Seattle when that was 100% pure BS!

Its just not going to happen. I dont like that were going to have to "steal" at team, because I know what its like. I also know what its like to still SUPPORT your team while there being jacked away from you. The kings (who are keeping there team), hornets, and clippers dont have the fan support. They have the lowest attendance of any team in the three major sports. Ill take the hornets, I love new Orleans, born and raised. But its not a basketball city, it is a LIVE EAT AND BREATH football town. We are "technically" a baseball city, but any time we have had all three major sports, we support them all.

Not so sure about an NHL team, but who knows? This is really gaining a lot of momentum and it seems more likely that its gonna happen then it has ever been. Mark my words. BASKETBALL WILL BE BACK IN SEATTLE BY 2017 AT THE LATEST! and thats very exciting Thu, 14 Jun 2012 23:09:43 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Bring-back-our-Sonics-rally-in-Seattles-Pioneer-Square-159054575.html?clmob=y#IDComment381160400 http://www.komonews.com/sports/Seattle-wraps-minicamp-with-no-decisions-at-QB-159122095.html#IDComment381158785 I trust the coaching staff to start the best qb. The good thing is we have 3 qbs that have a lot of potential (yes even tavaris). The work has just begun, and were 83 days away from opening day. But I have really high hopes for the hawks this year!
